Mango Lassi

Lassi is a traditional drink often made during peak summer months in most Indian homes. Lassi can be sweet, fruit based , spiced and simply salted too.

Indian summers are unbearable even if one decides to stay indoors, I am taking about 100°F and above. Sweat breaks even before opening the gym door in such conditions keeping oneself hydrated is the only way to stay healthy.
Here is one such filling and a thirst quencher lassi recipe, the most popular drink served in Indian restaurants all around the world.

Ingredients: (Serves 2)

Large mango- 1/2 of one cubed or around 1/2 cup canned Kesar mango pulp (Available in most Indian Grocery stores)

Whole milk - 1 cup

Yogurt -1/2 cup

Full fat cream - 2 tbsp (mascarpone cheese beaten too tasted good)

Green cardamom- 2-3 pods( peel removed and powdered)

Method:

Grind the mango pieces in a blender until smooth then add milk and yogurt.Let it blend until smooth.Pour it into tall glass.Put 1 tbsp cream per glass and sprinkle cardamom powder on top ,few cubes of mango and voila ur lassi is ready!
